Show diffs for assertions logged in browser console

[kuceb]

Add diffs to assertion errors in cypress open mode

Current:

Desired:

In run mode, we already have diffs:

nice-to-haves:

• [x] collapse-able log block in console
• [ ] show inline diff for long strings
• [ ] use background color to show exactly what is different in each line (possible add this to the cypress run reporter

@TheKnightCoder No, the issue will be closed when it is in the product.

@jennifer-shehane Any updates on this or any timeline for this ? This would make life easy for most of us

I would recommend the visual diff feature showed off by https://github.com/benjamine/jsondiffpatch. If possible I think it would be really great to embed the visual diff feature by default for deep equality failures.
